Hopefully this'll upload ?

PS bear in mind that most of the smoke had dispersed by the time I took these photos.

Omega General Help / Eruptions of smoke coming from exhaust after twenty/thirty miles driving

2002 Auto CDi 2.2

After engine warms up (approximately 30 miles or so) I stop at junction or lights. Accelerate away and small plume of whiteish smoke is emitted from exhaust. After another spell of continuous driving (twenty miles or so) same thing happens. Slow down, wait at junction or lights and accelerate away with larger plumes of smoke this time. Repeating the process, waiting at lights (not switching off ignition ) then driving off again provides a huge pile of smoke, enough to incovenience drivers behind me. Last time there was sufficient smoke around for me to take photos while there was still a residual amount left.

No inward signs of emergency, no warning signs on the console/dashboard and no overheating. Response is sluggish afterwards but eventually picks up after the smoke disappears.

Any clues as to where we should be looking ?

Thanks

Good people

The rubber surrounding the sunroof is starting to peel in certain small spots leaving a light almost whitish colour underneath. Short of replacing the whole trim is there any "old wives tale" type of solution that you know of which can render it passable in the next 24 hours or so ?

When I say "old wives tale" maybe something like rubbing treacle and soot all over it   

Thanks in advance

I ask because I'm in the process of selling my V6 CDX on ebay and the top bidder, so far, lives in Rutland. It would be nice to welcome him into the "brother/sisterhood" by letting him know there are good people out there !

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / OEM Roadstar radio in V6 CDX can I buy replacement to work with steering control

« on: 04 April 2012, 14:14:07 »

Hi

I have a T reg 2.5 CDX V6 with an OE Roadstaer FM/AM radio installed along with a 6 CD multiplayer in the boot.

Afriend of mine would like the radio so my question is can I buy a replacement which will work with the steering wheel controls and be compatible with the CD player ?

Thanks in advance
